Smart sensor interface for industrial applications
Sensors help translate the real world of analog signals and varying voltages into the digital processing realm. This article looks at several blocks that form a “smart” sensor interface along with CMOS processes capable of integrating these blocks on a single monolithic solution. This includes a look at how low- and high-voltage mixed-signal capabilities are being combined while assuring good shielding between noisy blocks and the sensitive analog signal path.
